Abstract:
Records of a volunteer draft counseling service primarily operated for University of Wisconsin students. The contents, chiefly dating from 1970-1971, include counselor training materials, statements to draft boards, conscientious objector claims, and a subject file of pamphlets, reprints, and newsletters collected to provide information to young men about their rights and about alternatives possible under the Selective Service system. Unfortunately, the correspondence is almost entirely routine, and the permanent files on individual counselees containing personal and draft history information are missing. As a result the collection provides only a limited picture of DCIC development and internal operations.
